Discover the Swedish ethos of balanced living with Lagom. Lagom (pronounced 'lar-gom') has no equivalent in the English language but is loosely translated as 'not too little, not too much, just right'. It is widely believed that the word comes from the Viking term laget om, for when a mug of mead was passed around a circle and there was just enough for everyone to get a sip. But while the anecdote may hit the nail on the head, the true etymology of the word points to an old form of the word lag, which means 'law'.

"Jag Upphäver Gravitationen" är en stark utlämnande självbiografi från en ung person med en neuropsykiatrisk funktionsnedsättning. Hen föddes i Rumänien 1991, bara några få år efter att den rumänska kommunistregimen föll 1989. I nästan fyra år bodde hen på ett sunkigt barnhem i Rumänien, fram tills 1994 då hen adopterades av sina svenska adoptivföräldrar till Sverige. Alexander fungerade bra under sina första år, men när kraven ökade på honom när hen började på dagis, så visade sig symtomen på hens funktionsnedsättning allt mer tydligt och vid fem års ålder fick hen sin första neuropsykiatriska diagnos, autism.
